    How ridiculous is the decision to prosecute Boris for the £350 mil statement? Why not prosecute May for lying, by promising we would leave the EU on 29th March? Further proof that the government, mainstream media and the courts all work together to further the globalist agenda.

      I was pondering that a bit – does any economic claim by any elected politician become subject to examination by a court ?

      The case against this politician will be struck out but it is interesting that because the matter is one concerning ‘ leave’ the MSM are not up in arms about it .

      When it is some claim by the SNP First Minister or the Corbyn Money tree – will that lead to prosecution too ?

      Silly season rules …

        Fed:
        Exactly, as usual it’s one rule for those the establishment doesn’t like, and another for those it does.
        Let’s be honest, there would never be enough court time to prosecute every politician who is accused of telling a lie!
        The only reason Boris is being prosecuted is because he’s a favourite for the Tory leadership. They are worried about his possible enthusiasm for a “hard Brexit” (or as normal people call it a “real Brexit”!)

          Tonight guido reveals that the bloke launching the private prosecution originally had a Facebook funding thing to prosecute leavers thereby opening the way to a judicial review of the referendum and result.

          The site was taken down on advice of his lawyers ££ – robem and screwem
          And replaced by a cover ‘ to stop lies in politics ‘

          I’m waiting to find out the details of the judge who decided there was a case to answer and her connection to ‘ remain ‘

          The Swamp sure needs draining .

            Should ‘someone’ be prosecuted for saying we are leaving Europe on March 29th?
            Will Parliament be taken to court for not ‘respecting the wishes of the people’ following the result of the referendum?
            The swamp , ‘the political swamp’ is beginning to drain it self . Watch Peterborough next week and the next general election when it happens .

        But Boris got it wrong, its gone up by 75% to £615 million a week. Boris should be awarded 175% of his defence costs from those prosecuting him.

          Did that come from here:

          http://ourglobalfuture.com/reports/too-high-a-price-the-cost-of-brexit-what-the-public-thinks/

          or here:

          https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-615-million-worse-off-per-week-under-preferred-brexit-scenario-study/

          “The U.K.’s preferred Brexit outcome will cost the exchequer £615 million a week in lost revenue and all four scenarios laid out by the government would leave the country worse off, according to a study by the think tank Global Future published Wednesday.

          The analysis used the government’s own comprehensive assessment of the impact of Brexit, including the direct and indirect costs and benefits for public finances from likely increased barriers to trade as well as reduced contributions to the EU budget.

          Under a “Norway model” of European Economic Area membership — where the U.K. would stay in the single market and adhere to EU rules and regulations but leave the customs union — the study predicts the fiscal impact on the U.K. would be £260 million a week. The highest net loss would occur if there is no deal, forcing the U.K. to trade with the EU on World Trade Organization terms. This scenario is estimated at £1.25 billion a week.”

        Actually, I believe the inquest into Boris’ claim will be on going for years and years. Perhaps at the same cost that both UK governments still forks out for the Madeleine McCann investigation.

    Just think of all the votes for The Brexit Party that these farces are generating.

    Their Chairman, Richard Rice has not only the will but also the money to take these traitorous fools to court. And with justification.

    Are we seeing something similar to the BBC/Left war against Trump? The BBC/Left lost the Referendum and also the EU Elections. The forthcoming Peterborough by election is very likely to be won by The Brexit Party.

    A Brexit Party MP? He will be a constant BBC/Left target. I hope he has no overdue Library Books. He could find himself at the Crown Court in no time.

    We had the A.N Wilson smear job of Rees-Mogg’s book on Victorians on the Today show illustrating perfectly the arrogant, contemptuous conceit that oozes from Remainers, and of course their total fear of anyone who is actually popular.

    Today the Guardian goes one better with an abysmal and nasty little attack on JRM….JRM being the reincarnation of Hitler of course….

    ‘Let’s play a game: is this from a review of Conservative MP and arch Brexiter Jacob Rees-Mogg’s book The Victorians, or not? “Morally repellent”, “abysmal” and “soul-destroying”, “reads like it was written by a baboon”, “too pompous and too cliche-ridden”, and “a boring tome” full of “little more than commonplace cliches”. Answer: all but the last. That was Benito Mussolini’s zinger about Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Who knew he had it in him?’

    In yet more staggering stuidity and self delusion they declare that there is no anti Semetism in Labour and anyway the EHRC is headed up by Jews & Zionists and taking orders from Israel !

    The BBC said that the last time the Liberals beat the Conservatives in a nationwide election was in 1906. Even more amazing was the fact that the last time the Liberal Party came second in a nationwide election was in 1910. Even more fantastic was that the last time the Liberal Party won more votes than Labour in a nationwide election was in 1918. But the most fantastically amazing fact of all was that the Green Party had its best results for 30 years. But the BBC seemed disappointed that the Brexit Party did not do as well as expected, so therefore the BBC wont be inviting any Brexit Party MEP’s onto Question Time in future.

    Here’s an example of BBC muddying the waters – this time in UK car production
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48451024

    I’m sure the ‘eagle-eyed’ would find other problems with the article but I chose this statement attributed to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT)

    ” a no-deal Brexit would make the declines worse with the threat of border delays, production stoppages and additional costs”

    When one goes to the actual SMMT website it does in fact say something similar but not exactly-
    https://www.smmt.co.uk/2019/05/uk-car-manufacturing-plummets-in-april-as-brexit-shutdowns-strike/

    ” A ‘no deal’ Brexit, however, could exacerbate this decline, with the threat of border delays, production stoppages and additional costs compromising competitiveness. (1)

    The (1) at the end refers to what the SMMT calls ‘notes to the editors’ –

    1. The Production Outlook is an independent forecast of UK vehicle manufacturing commissioned from AutoAnalysis. It is updated up to four times a year to respond to market and production cycle fluctuations. The latest analysis, assuming a favourable Brexit deal and transition period maintaining the status quo, forecasts 1.36 million units for 2019, down from 1.52 million units in 2018.

    So who is AutoAnalysis?

    It has a website which says – Thanks for looking me up. One day I will get around to doing a website. Ian Henry
    http://www.autoanalysis.co.uk/

    On the SMMT web site itself one can find a pdf by Ian Henry –

    Click to access Open-Forum-March-2014-Ian-Henry.pdf

    The most striking item in this document is that Germany dominates car production in the EU –

    /
    UK and France battle for 3rd place behind Germany and Spain
    – Germany’s leadership position clear. Within EU, Spain is and will
    remain 2nd largest producing country
    – Spanish growth reflects breadth of VM investment and commitment
    – UK and France will compete for 3rd place in production rankings.
    – Positions will be determined by new model timings from JLR in
    particular and the degree to which Renault and PSA plants can meet
    the production targets set in these companies labour agreements.
    – UK NOW EXCEEDS FRANCE IN CAR PRODUCTION: French car production is
    falling while LCV production will rise strongly in medium term.
    – Rise of Turkey to c1.5mn upa reflects expansion at Tofas and
    concentration of Ford van production in Turkey.
    – Czech Republic production remains >1.2mn; production in Slovakia,
    Italy and Poland will remain c750-950,000 upa.

    John was not done there and in another dig at London, he added: “And the icing on the cake is that Nevis is not the world centre for Russian dirty money laundering.”

    Explaining his decision to emigrate last year, he told the BBC he was “so disappointed with so much about this country”.

        In the 1950″s and 60″s the government realized London was far too overcrowded and moved people out to expanding places like Peterborough Milton Keynes etc
        Result the population fell and it was a comfortable great city by the 1980″s .Then Blair and New !abour decides to fill the place back up, and then some.

        BBC’s loss is Netflix’s gain.

        My 14 year old son loves Monty Python, apparently heard about it from a school friend, he says loads of them at school watch it on Netflix and it seems to be a popular topic in the playground (among the bright, geeky kids presumably, as he’s very much of that set).

        It probably helps that their PSHE teacher (who is not popular) says it is ‘racist rubbish’ (with no logical rationale I can discern), she also told them ‘Tommy Robinson was a racist Nazi sympathiser, hiding under an alias’ (that doesn’t seem to have gendered any interest in TR tho’, to be fair).

      Anyone who has visited London recently with open eyes and an enquiring mind will agree with John Cleese – whilst it is in England the majority of people who seem to live there do not reflect England..so essentially he is right….I was born and brought up there – I am a cockney..but I would never go back…trouble is I went to Manchester and that is now becoming a little London and losing what was great about it in the process..

    The BBC is currently promoting wearers of the hijab, which by inference is the same as promoting the religion of the wearers of this headbag, Islam.

    Meanwhile there The London Bridge inquest is continuing. The perpetrators of this terrorist attack were Muslims, just like the women that they are promoting in these BBC video reports. In fact, just like the women featured, the attackers used Islam to justify their attacks.

    The victims of the attacks were all non-muslims (or Kaffirs as the Muslims affectionately call us), ironically just like the intended viewers of the BBC video reports.

        No, no, Dysty, you clearly don’t understand. It is definitely not a requirement, it is always a personal choice. It’s just that some women make a personal choice that they don’t want to be insulted, assaulted, molested, raped, murdered, set on fire, have acid thrown over them etc.

    The Remain obsessive battling to sink BoJo: GUY ADAMS on the man who took £24,000 out of fighting fund to pay himself

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-7084115/GUY-ADAMS-man-took-24-000-fighting-fund-pay-himself.html

    Marcus Ball hates lies. He especially hates politicians who lie, a fact trumpeted on his own page on a professional networking website which states: ‘When politicians lie, democracy dies.’

    This is why the 29-year-old is prosecuting Boris Johnson.

    Mr Ball, pictured at court yesterday, has repeatedly insisted the case has nothing to do with a wish to frustrate Brexit.

    It is simply to ‘stop lying in politics’. All very noble. Yet one man’s ‘lie’ is usually another’s ‘fair comment’, especially in these vexed political times. So how does Mr Ball live up to his own high-minded ideals?

    To find out, let us look at his personal page on the website Crowdfunder.co.uk, where he launched his legal fight in July 2016.

    It was mysteriously deleted at 5.18pm on the 29th of that month. A copy can still be seen on internet archives and it shows the floppy-haired Mr Ball’s pitch in pursuit of ‘£100,000 minimum’ from donors.

    ‘Once these prosecutions have established that politicians did indeed lie to voters, our next step will be to take other action to prevent Brexit,’ it reads. ‘This may be in the form of a judicial review.’

    Mr Ball’s statement added that the campaign was being organised with ‘other Remain campaigners’ and had been born in a Facebook page called The 48 Percent – presumably referring to the minority who voted Remain.

    All of which suggests his intention, at the time, was very much to stop Brexit. Despite the large number of times he subsequently insisted that wasn’t the case.

    So were his own aforementioned public statements lies? Did he simply misspeak? Or have his views evolved over time?

    Then there’s the issue of Mr Ball’s finances.

    The fundraising website explained: ‘This is a non-profit campaign. The people involved are volunteering their time freely.’

    In October 2016, Mr Ball repeated this line, saying he had ‘worked unpaid on the campaign for the past three months.’

    That position has evolved, too.

    At some point, Mr Ball decided not to volunteer his time freely. He recently told an interviewer that he was paying himself a salary of ‘around £24,000’ from his crowd-funding kitty.

    This money will have supplemented his other earnings, which according to Mr Ball’s personal website, come from his varied career as a ‘prosecutor’, ‘reformer’, ‘speaker’ and ‘writer’.

    That site, which is adorned with pictures and videos of Mr Ball, represents an intriguing exercise in personal branding.

    On the page devoted to his public speaking career, for example, it says that since 2010 he has earned money from ‘speaking in public and teaching public speaking skills’.

    The page is illustrated with the logos of a number of major institutions which have invited him to speak, including the University of Cambridge.

    However, Mr Ball, who was educated at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, is believed to have given only one talk in Cambridge – in the last academic year, to Peterhouse College.

    That appears to be the limit of his dealings with Cambridge. Intriguingly, Mr Ball’s website also says he’s contributed to Russia Today, the controversial Kremlin-funded TV station recently fined by Ofcom for breaching broadcasting standards during coverage of the Salisbury poisonings.

    The website carries the logo (a two-headed eagle resembling a coat of arms) of an organisation called Ambition House. In fact, it’s a company Mr Ball founded in 2012 to ‘provide unique training and education to students and graduates’ but which has since been dissolved.

    Mr Ball is a director of three other companies: Think of a Name Later Ltd, a software development firm founded in 2016 but which has been dormant since then; a PR firm incorporated in 2017, which was due to file accounts last month, but hasn’t.

    And finally Brexit Justice Ltd, which seems to have been created to run his legal campaign against Boris Johnson, and whose latest accounts show assets of just £22,000.

    Several are registered to his family home, a £630,000 property near Norwich Cathedral. Mr Ball was born in the Norfolk city in 1989, the son of a retired English teacher.

    His birth certificate lists his name as Joshua Edwin Ball. At some point during adulthood, it is believed he changed it by deed poll, to Marcus, for £15. It’s unclear why.

    But as Boris Johnson will doubtless reflect, this is a man with a habit of seeking to re-write history.

      Interesting that Soros can avoid accusations of direct funding of legal operations by using ‘crowdfunding ‘ where he pretends to be a crowd – same way that the funding of the Gina miller case wasn’t declared .

      Anyway on the detail given above – thank you -annu should be enough to sink the suit – but if it’s a remainer judge who wants a seat on the EJC – then it might get a full run – just for burning money .

      It’s a BBC free day for me but I read the article by Gordon Brown in the BBC house paper – The Guardian – slagging of Nigel Farage .
      If ever there was a recruiting piece for The Brexit Party – the Gordon Brown piece is it .

      It was so bad that I started to think about the things Brown does not mention such as

      – 1 Scotland – he hating England
      -2 The EU – not mentioned – no criticism
      -3.his roll in further turning Britain into a third world cess pit

      At the end of the article it helpfully reminds the reader that Gordon `Brown was Prime Minister for 3 years …

      NB – apparently the reason ex PMs don’t take up a seat in the So called Upper House -is because they would have to declare their finances and ‘funding ‘ . So Cameron. Brown , Major and Blair haven’t taken up the Ermin ……
      …how much does that say about British politics .

      Annu, thanks for passing that on.

      The fact that the Plaintiff is a Remainer should mean the Magistrate chucks out his case. He has suffered no personal harm.

      Had the Plaintiff been a Leave voter in poor health and had the Party in government – the Conservatives – been campaigning for Leave, then the Plaintiff could just about claim a harm because Brexit has not been delivered on schedule and extra substantial funding much closer to the level of £350m p/week has not been granted to the NHS.

      But then what do I – a non-qualified lawyer – know? More importantly the normal axis of this planet became skewed about thirty to fifty years ago and I guess there could just be a Magistrate somewhere who decides there is a case to answer and refers it to Crown Court for trial. People are definitely now daft enough to think like that.

      andy, nothing can beat your eye-witness testimony although the BBC would prefer their myth of Brexit to cancel it.

      There’s another factor at play don’t forget: many EU States have decreed no more petrol and diesel fuelled car vehicles from 2040 and in some cases 2030. That is far more damaging to car companies than Brexit because of the redesigning and re-tooling required to meet the political demands.

      On top of that, some countries’ politicians – notably the UK – have been a bit confused and vague about the future of hybrids, which really doesn’t help when planning future production.

Anyway, your comparison to the 60’s is also open to debate, as it depends whether you use percentiles of the working age population, or the total numbers. In that case, go back to early 1940’s for really low unemployment percentiles. As I remember the quote, you may be using statistics as a drunken man uses a lamp post, that is for support rather than illumination. Torsten, not you.

    A massively important piece was publised yesterday in the Guardian (so the BBC have to be aware of it) by Labour chair Ian Lavery.

    In it he makes several observations about the party ‘remainers’ and who they are:

    “As someone who has opposed a so-called public vote, not least because parliament has no majority for it in principle and nobody has the faintest idea what we would actually put on the ballot, I have been doggedly attacked by certain sections of the party, as well as those on the outside. It does feel that a certain portion of “leftwing intellectuals” are sneering at ordinary people and piling on those trying to convey the feelings of hundreds of thousands of Labour voters.”

    Here are the key points.

    Far leftist ‘intellectuals’ from Hampstead & Islington are driving the second referendum calls.

    No majority to support this in either parliament nor the Labour party

    They have not the first clue as to any wording on a second referendum nor even what they want to ask the public.

    The Islington set sneering at working class Brexit voters

    No chance of Labour winning a General Election chasing a portion of the 48% of remain voters.

    This article is definitely worth reading. The BBC must be aware of it, yet I don’t believe I’ve heard anything connected to it perhaps because many of the BBC types are the leftist ‘intellectuals’ refered to in the article.

      Then they want at least two questions below it, preferably three or four, that split up the Leave vote or confuse voters “who didn’t know what they were voting for in 2016.”.

    Labour, anti-Semitism and the Cultural Marxist’s use of, “Adjacency”:

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14248/guilt-by-association
    However, as any normal thinking person will immediately grasp, the word comes with a boomerang attached. But have no fear. As is pointed out in the Gatestone article, “adjacency” has a limited application to anything right wing, populist and/or racist. So, Jeremy Corbyn is not condemned under the heading of “adjacency” when seen with the IRA or Palestinian terrorist but, for example, Boris will be alongside a large red bus.
    We need to monitor the progress of use of this new Marxist term.

    What a deeply unpleasant and intolerant country we’re becoming.
    Today It’s john Cleese’s turn to face the pitch fork mob.
    He apparently gave his opinion on the state of London. He was quite eloquent in his appraisal. He spoke of earlier, happier times when people were polite and easy with each other. He said it seemed like a foreign country.
    He’s clearly a dinosaur who doesn’t appreciate the untold advantages we’ve enjoyed since cultural enrichment was brought to the capital. Stabbings and acid attacks were relatively rare back in those dark old days.
    Of course first out of the blocks to admonish him was the runt Muslim mayor who said something so gormlessly PC and crass it could have come straight from the pages of 1984. “Diversity is our strength.” Ye gods it’s pitiful!
    Having been born and bred in London I find mysself in total agreement with Mr Cleese. I only have one small criticism. I wouldn’t have used all those long words to sum up the state of modern London.

They could have put 1. the ONS figures up in defence – therefore no case to answer, and, 2. the fact, IIRC, that Bojo didn’t decide to vote Leave until about a week before the Referendum – therefore no case to answer.

The dogmatism and divisiveness of their them-versus-us nationalism has more in common with the Le Pens, the Salvinis and the Orbans […]”

    Someone needs a logic refresher. Still, maybe we should be issued proper guidelines on what kind of nationwide dissent is allowed. I’d hate to fall foul of the authorities by not adhering to the correct form of tolerant, fair-minded division so beloved of Gordon and the Guardian.

    Wishful thinking by the globalist far-left BBC, perhaps?

    A minor story but still fake news.

    “Children are whitening their skin with make-up to avoid being bullied or racially abused at school, according to charity NSPCC.”

    Not so long ago, I worked in the world of education. We could not stop African and Caribbean children bringing in face whitening cream and applying it on their faces. The practice was often encouraged by their parents. The reason was that in the African Caribbean culture, pale skin is desirable, despite what they say (think of black pop stars that sometimes have a lighter skin tone in some photographs than others).

    I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to break up fights between two black boys because one would accuse the other boy of looking ‘blacker’ than the other black boys.

    Another way the West Indian children would wind each other up was by saying to another child of West Indian origin that, “you smell like an African.”

    It made me laugh when I once heard David Lammy say black people cannot be racist. Black people, despite what they say can be very racist towards white, Chinese and Asian people.

    The BBC story I have just read is a complete distortion of the facts.

    You really need to watch this, as it could save your life. Experts are saying that Islamic terrorists getting their hands on and deploying nuclear weapons isn’t a possibility, it is an inevitability and the authorities are doing precious little to prevent it.

    No wonder CND aren’t very noisy any more it’s the whites who are being targetted and they hate us with such passion they’d probably assist an Islamist in detonation.

    It’s 25 minutes long and I urge you to watch it until the end, it might just save your life:

      Why would there be any doubt that Muslim terrorists will make a dirty bomb or something chemical or biological for use on Western target(s) ?

      Surely it’s s given ?Just depends which country will be on the receiving end , the of lives / land / materials and whether anyone accepts responsibility .

      Then of course – if NATO is in its present form – article 5 will be invoked and a suitable response imposed .

      I’m really not sure what this has to do with the BBC and its bias though . And the blokes pretty low level in terms of the things individuals can do should they wish to survive a nuclear incident – a tip – work out which way the wind is blowing …..

        If you watch the video you will find a nice quote, that Al Qaeda does not have a return address.
        There cannot be a ‘suitable response’ these people are stateless often in a country like Syria or Libya which doesn’t even want them there. They cannot easily be attacked and even if they are they simply don’t care as they then become martyrs and guaranteed a place in heaven.

        The old tenet of Mutually Assured Destruction threfore no longer works. This is the whole point of the video.

        It will happen.
        Our useless political elites have done nothing to prevent it
        Our useless political elites have done nothing to prepare for it

        The only thing which you can do is to learn how to survive the aftermath and how to help others, and you aren’t going to be able to access this info while it happens.

          Thoughtful – this stuff is ancient -it’s a bit like tagging any nuclear material used in a dirty bomb in order to destroy the reactor or country from where it came .

          Personally after 9/11 the Americans would have got away with nuking Afghanistan as the source of the plan – I don’t know what the population of the main target areas would have been but I suppose one of the main reasons it was not done was that they needed solid proof that bin Ladin was dead as opposed to vaporised .

          It would certainly have saved a lot of british lives wandering around the place getting blown up by Iranian IEDs …

        The bias is that the BBC I remember a while ago talking about the possibility of a dirty bomb, but it is a long time ago, and they are certainly not keeping the public informed about something which is being described as an inevitability.

        I would suggest the reason for that is because of the religion of the perpetrators.

      Too much stupidity engaged in climate change alarmism, with the futility of it all falling on deaf ears. This would be a far better use of resources, as this is far more likely than a climate Armageddon which is probably not on the cards, at all.

    It is looking more and more likely that we are seeing the end of the Conservative party.
    It is stuffed full of liberals with only a handful of real conservatives. We all know who the good guys are.

    That daft clot Hammond is saying he will vote against his own party in a confidence vote if he doesn’t get his own way (if a new leader accepts the so called ‘no deal’ which is actually wto rules deal). He says this is for the good of the country. He thinks Corbyn will be better running the country than the conservatives.
    He’s in the wrong party.

    I think TBP will easily win in Peterborough and can win the next GE. Once the ‘old conservatives’ have disappeared, TBP can be renamed the Conservative Party for old times sake.
    PM Farage.
    Sounds right to me.

    The Japan school girl attack was against a Catholic school
    … isn’t that interesting ?
    \\ The attack took place at a bus stop where children, reportedly between the ages of 6 and 7, waited for a ride to a local Catholic school, the only such school in Kawasaki //

    Different day.
    Same basic story.
    Yesterday – a woman burned alive in Bangla Desh.
    Today we have this…

    ‘Coercive husband battered wife to death’
    I wonder what those left wing feminist groups and any of those 2000 journalists at the bBBC have to say about these stories and what appears to link them?
    Just as I thiught.
    Nothing.

    The so called ‘bbc question time ‘ Thursday night has the usual one Brexiter and the rest Remainers . It’s from Epsom – which was 52% remain .

    I wonder what a complete outsider would think of this weekly anti democratic propaganda by the state broadcaster ?

    I really thank God that I don’t pay the licence Tax . I can easily afford it but I just couldn’t do it .

    I don’t know how any decent person can pay the wages of that awful outfit .

    Save the money for your personal welfare ….
